Team Standard Super League

Team Standard Super League runs on Tuesday nights starting at 6pm pacific time (not 5) from May 15 through July 10. It will be a shorter season than previous team formats as we’re doing a single elimination bracket this time around. We’re also going to mix up the structure of the matches a bit so that we get to watch all the players and (probably) all the decks too.

Here are the details:

3-player teams submit 5 different* Standard decks

*Different means no 2 main decks overlap by more than 10 nonland cards

There is no deck banning

Teams switch players every round (there is a set schedule that ensures every round is a different pairing, and no one plays again until everyone has had even turns)

Players secretly choose decks before each match

Teams can’t repeat a deck until they have all been used (and no deck may be played more than twice)

Team Standard Super League is fully sponsored by Wizards of the Coast. They provide the prizes, access to special “4-of” Magic Online accounts for players to use, and in addition they provide financial compensation to the production staff.
